One of Mr Newell’s children, Linda Paintain, 58, told the Daily Mail last night that her sister Carol Pennells, 66, went to the policeclaiming that her father and a group of friends had been involved in the death of a young woman named only as Laura. But Mrs Paintain and another sibling insist their sister is mistaken.

Her brother John Newell, 50, who lives opposite the house being searched, said: ‘The police are wasting their time. There is no body. My sister has done this type of thing before.’

Jenny Baker told the BBC she contacted police on behalf of her mother, who once lived in the property with her aunts.
"The girl that we believe is buried in the garden is a girl by the name of Laura," she said.

"We don't know if it is her proper name. They all know the same story of how they heard screaming, how the girl was introduced and how she disappeared as quickly as she was introduced.

My first staff nurse position was near Tunbridge Wells and it is a very respectable town, packed with tea rooms and very well heeled women of a certain age.
"Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells" is a jokey way of referring to retired colonel types who write to the Telegraph complaining of the youth of today.

I don't know what to think of this one. Why would someone say this if it weren't true? If she is psychotic, surely the police would investigate further without disrupting a family home. If no remains are not found she could find herself prosecuted and with a hefty bill for wasting police time.

A police dig of a garden after reports human remains might be buried there has found nothing.
